Lost the answer to father and son and the brothers but I have the answer for the Belgium lady!

Cliff,

Have you found the answer yet to your own question that you said you lost the answer to and what is the answer to your last question. The proper way to do this is to give an answer to the questions you pose. It is the correct and proper thing to do!

Nay could not find that but the last question is too easy for anyone not to know. And the first was easy also but I lost it so sorry about the first lets not make a big deal out of it answer the last !

No big deal Cliff.

You posed the question, now it is your turn to answer it............

Only fair!

Well I lost that one also I guess you want to kick me out too Maybe next time

Oh I found it Marie-Jeanne Schellinckx .
The Xena of the Napoleonic Wars.
Marie-Jeanne Schellinckx was born in Ghent in 1757 and died in Menen in 1840. She worked as waitress/inn-keeper, together with her husband, and in 1792 together they enlisted in the "Legion des Belges et Liegeois". Marie-Jeanne fought at Jemappes where she receiving several saber cuts. She was also present at Arcole and Austerlitz where she was hit by a musketball in her thigh. Military surgeon then discovered that the wounded brave soldier actually was a woman ! Marie-Jeanne remained in the French army and fought at Jena. She was promoted to lieutenant and (some sources say in 1806, others in 1808) received Legion of Honor. In 1808 she left the army and Napoleon granted her yearly pension of 700 Francs.
